  • Applications

    Allyl octanoate (CAS 4230-97-1) is the allyl ester of octanoic acid and is used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products; it is also considered as an aroma/flavor component in various food and beverage formulations, and may be used in household products to augment scent. In addition, it is commonly employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrance compounds and may be used as a solvent or aroma carrier in certain formulation systems, depending on regulations and specific formulations.
